Zoe's POV

I needed some fresh air after what had just happened on the dancefloor.

For some reason, dancing with the Alpha of the pack in front of the world's most important people came secondary to having seen Xavier watching me dance with the Alpha of the pack at such an important event.

Seeing him there brought feelings that I was not ready to face yet. It was too soon.

I wanted to stay out there in the dark garden as long as I could. Everything was going wrong. Richard's proposal, the dress, the dance, Rory. And now, Xavier was here. Was it too much to ask for a break? What was next? Everyone to know that I was wolfless omega running from my past?

I sighed.

I could hear the orchestra playing and I knew Rory was not going to give me a break. She was already upset at me getting a dress from Richard and him making sure that I wore it. It wouldn't take long for her to know what happened at the dancefloor and I have no iea how she is going to take that.

I took a few deep breaths to cal

    "They are great. Little one started school." I could see that she was not convinced by my smile but I was grateful that she didn't ask more."That's good." I said and we both sighed simultaneously."I gotta get back to work." I said despite not wanting to get back to the party."What work?" She asked."I work for the Golden Bells event management company. They are the ones who organized this event. I am still an intern but it was my team that helped set up most of the party tonight." I said feeling proud of this one little accomplishment in my life."Wow. Congratulations. That is big." She hugged me again and I hugged back. Other than Maisie and Dad I had not hugged anyone in a while. It was a lonely feeling. So, getting hugs from Eva was sweet."Thank you.""I gotta get back to the party too, before they realize I've slipped." She joked and I smiled, "Of course.""But, let's stay in touch." Eva suddenly offered and gave me her phone to put my new number in."Thanks. I'll call when I c

    Xavier's POVI didn't see Zoe again after that dance.But I knew that the image of her in that gorgeous gown twirling in the arms of another man was going to haunt me for long. It didn't help that the man was none other than Alpha Richard Peterson, only son of the Councilor Peterson who was notorious for his suspicious behaviors. Not to mention, the way he defended John even after all of John's atrocities were brought to light.I was still confused how did Zoe get to this pack of all the packs in North America. I had wanted her to be safe and then I had handed her the papers to the one pack that was probably going to be worse than her original one. How had that happened? My mistake was not checking the papers, but who made the original mistake of making those papers?Eva had returned later and the look on her face told nothing if she had found anything or not. I had ordered everyone not to mind-link at the party. So, that no one could be any more suspicious of our reason to accept the

    It had been a busy few days. Rory had been indirectly punishing Zoe for the stunt pulled at the reception event, with more work.Xavier's team had no success finding a way to the rooms again or to get through the retinal scanners.Zoe and Xavier couldn't get each other out of their heads oblivious to the plight of the other.Xavier wanted to go see Joe Simmons but didn't want to let it known to his hosts that he knew Simmons. During a couple of events that happened after the reception, like Miranda Peterson's bridal shower and her groom's roast party. Since the events were gender-specific, Xavier couldn't even catch a glimpse of Zoe. Not that it would help. He had no idea what she felt. In his mind, she was probably better off without him. After all, she had moved on so quickly to dance with her new Alpha.He wanted to save her from this pack but he needed sold proof before he got to her. He felt like she wouldn't even want to talk to him after the way they parted. He ofte

    Zoe's POVAfter the disaster that the bachelor and bachelorette parties had been, I was sure that the wedding was canceled.So, when Misha called grumbling and panicking at once about how he was traumatized and still being called in to work, I was shocked.But I got ready and reached the meeting where Rory was leading with Richard and the to-be-wedded couple. The venue had changed but since so many important people had taken time out of their busy schedules to attend the wedding. The wedding was going to happen.Miranda looked like she had been crying. Her groom was more interested in his phone than literally anything around him. Rory just wanted to make Richard happy, who was in a very sour mood. Fair enough, if my house caught fire during a party, I'd be worried too. Misha was sipping his coffee like it was medicine. Laura was the only one actually taking notes and providing input when asked.I had a new problem. Last night at the hotel, I was in charge of junior staff, making sure t

    Xavier's POVWhen we wre dropped back to the hotel last night, we did what we had been doing for the last few days. We got ready to meet at the warehouse for mission debriefing.My guy was gone. The plan had not worked the way we had imagined it to. But that was a part of the job. We were all aware of the risks before we got into it, especially without my cloaking ring which Eva had lost on Peterson's pack house grounds.Lawrence showed the phone and flash drive that our guy had given him before running. We spent the rest of the night working out what the numbers and lists in the photoes meant. Trying to decrypt the flash drive without our guy was hard. Peterson knew how to keep secrets. I'd give him that.But I was going to keep no stone unturned from finding out what he was hiding.Lawrence had to return to his undercover job. I ordered most of my entourage to get back to the hotel undetected and cover for the ones staying behind to keep researching. We needed to have found somethi

    Zoe's POVIt had been a few weeks since the grand wedding.I had joined the office team and was introduced to the rest of the people on my floor. The work was great. Misha and I were paired up for most tasks since we already had some fieldwork practice together. I rarely saw Rory since she was busy with higher-ups and had moved to the next great project with another team.I made Dad start a few hobbies since he was usually home alone till I got back from work. I hadn't seen Angelina much either. She had left for New York to find herself a college of choice for further studies. I couldn't get Xavier out of my head. No matter what I was doing, his words, his touch, and the way he was looking at me were burned in my brain. Why did he have to say all those things? Why did he suddenly care? Hadn't he given up on me? On us? And what did he mean that Richard was dangerous? No, I don't know why he said that. But as far as I had known Richard, he couldn't be that bad, could he? Why could my

    Zoe's POV"Where is Xavier?" I asked. If it truly was his operation, where was he?"Where do you think?" Lawrence raised a brow at me sarcastically.Before I could retort in annoyance, Eva answered calmly, "He is on the other side of this compound, with another team.""Why?" I asked."Stop asking that and be patient. We are waiting for a signal." Lawrence said annoyed.I was the one who had been kidnapped, why was he annoyed?Eva made me change my shoes. She gave me a pair of sneakers because my stilettoes were going to be noisy. I had no idea what that even meant. But I did as I was told. Not like I had much of a choice.I remembered Eva's ring and asked, "Where's my bag? I had the ring that you dropped when we met at the guest reception."Her eyes lit up and she grabbed something from under her seat. She handed me my bag and I took out the ring. She visibly relaxed at the sight of it, "Thank you for keeping it safe. Alpha was so mad that I had lost it.""Did Xavier give this to you?"

    Eva was freaking out.One moment, she was listening to Richard's conversation with the traffickers, and the next, Zoe was gone from her side.She noticed Zoe turn the corner on the far side of the compound and instantly tried to mind-link her. But like the last few times she had tried, Zoe's mind-link was closed. It was unreachable. But Eva didn't have time to stay confused.She rushed after Zoe. She had no idea what the young girl had in mind but Eva mind-linked Xavier."What do you mean she was gone? What were you doing?" Xavier thundered. His anger made Eva wince.'I was listening. And I thought she was too.' Eva tried to explain as she noticed Zoe hiding behind a few large crates."Where is she now?" Xavier asked.'Inside the compound, Alpha. She's got your cloaking ring. But if I get any closer I'll be found.' Eva felt guilty but there was no time to point fingers yet."Make sure Zoe doesn't get seen. And don't get yourself caught either." Xavier ordered and motioned hi
